Tamashii Nation 2009 Autumn Show

Update (10/03/2009): New blog post at Amiami here. Judging from the better photo featured in this post of the VF-27 which shows its size in relation with the other DX toys from Tamashii, its starting to firm up the evidence that this is actually the much anticipated 1/60 DX Chogokin VF-27...Woohoo! Notice how similar it is in size to the VF-25S armored of Ozma Lee found on the shelf.

Update (10/02/2009): More updates from the Amiami and hobby stock blog found here, here and here

Of particular interest to me is this shot of a VF-27 Lucifer. Which begs the question, is this a 1/72 model kit or a 1/60 DX Chogokin of the VF-27 Lucifer? I'm asking this because Tamashii usually handles the DX Chogokin and not the 1/72 model kits of Bandai. Not to mention that the published product line-up of Tamashii for the show didn't say anything.

One other thing, in another blog post at hobby stock, in place of the price it just said that this VF-27 was a display model and the price had not been determined yet. While the real 1/72 VF-27 model kit is already up for pre-order with a price around 5000+ yen.

And the much awaited DX rendering of the Macross Quarter. Aside from the Quarter I see miniature versions of the Quadluun Rea, some VF-25's and a Vajra unit.

One other thing of interest to me shown at the Tamashii display was the LFO of Charles Beams from the Eureka Seven Franchise. I always liked the dark, distorted and rather tragic storyline of Charles and Ray Beams. With a can of red paint, one can easily repaint this in Ray Beams' LFO colors
